I use it to fish for smallies.  I've also used it on a few local lakes to fish for bass and crappie.

Ok, I was thinking if you were fishing big pike, you might get into some trouble if you hooked up on a big one.
If I'm not fishing, I'm hunting if I am not hunting, I'm trapping If I am not doing one of the above, I am wasting my time it is not a passion it is an obsession.

Splashed the old girl for the 33rd season yesterday. It's had several renovations and only 2 motors over all that time. It's unique and very comfortable to fish from . I logged 434 hours on my depth finder last year.



I've never succumbed to 2-foot-itis ;D

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

The steering is positioned at my left hand. I thought about a "stick steering" setup, but this conserved more space. It's very comfortable to drive.

Nice carpet job- nothing banging around there at all! I got 24 years out of my last boat, 17' BassTracker V-17, was still fishable but my wife wanted something the whole family could get out on. Stripped it down once completely as well, that's alot of work. Yours looks great, glad it's wet again. "2 foot-itis" a reference to waves?

Two Foot Itis is a disease that effects boat owners.
Symptoms: Never Satisfied, Always upgrading to larger and larger boats.
A new boater who buys a nice little 12 or 14 foot tinny will usually out grow this boat in short order and upgrade to a 16 or 18 foot vessel. These upgrades will continue usually 2 feet at a time until either A/ the boater has run out of money or B/ he/she ends up with something like this!!

No........."2 foot-itis'.....is the malady which temporarily suppresses all logic and reason and results in a new boat (and boat payment)  that's "just 2 feet longer" than the old boat.
